The Right Mixx

I am a single mom, small business owner, political organizer and activist, homeschooling parent, passionate patriot, and very very opinionated.
While on tour with the Tea Party Express in October, after dealing with a particularly difficult situation, a co-worker said to me,"Tiffiny, you use just the right mix of honey and vinegar".
I disagree... sometimes I do and sometimes I don't and that's what gets me into trouble. You be the judge!

Last night I had the opportunity to run a Tele-Townhall with Herman Cain as the guest. The moderator Rusty Humphries asked Mr. Cain to explain the current allegations of sexual misconduct in the workforce. In his own words:

It comes as no surprise to me that Rick Perry's camp is suspected of throwing a political bomb into Herman Cains Candidacy. Perry has on his team the leader of "one of the nation's most vicious campaign hit teams, a secret outfit whose reach spreads all over the American political system." Or so the a 2004 article from a longtime Texas Blog begins. The article continues saying that "It specializes in attempted assassination of political careers under the guise of issue education."

It is suspicious that someone very close to the Perry campaign has recently distanced himself from the campaign as a "general consultant". Dave Carney is known as one of the best political hitmen in the business. Could the man they call "The Wizard cehind the curtain" be up to his old tricks with a third party political hit? Time can only tell.

Out of these two;
Joseph Goebbels, Nazi propaganda minister / Barack Obama, US President

Who said the following:

"It is the absolute right of the state to supervise the formation of public opinion."-

"Not every item of news should be published. Rather must those who control news policies endeavor to make every item of news serve a certain purpose."

“Meanwhile, you’re coming of age in a 24/7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of arguments,... information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than a means of emancipation. All of this is not only putting new pressures on you; it is putting new pressures on our country and on our democracy.”

Do we have access to too much information and news? What road is Barrack trying to take our young ones down???

US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton announces declassification of one of the Nations most guarded secrets.
"Beginning today, the United States will make public the number of nuclear weapons in our stockpile and the number of weapons we have dismantled since 1991," Mrs Clinton said. "So for those who doubt that the United States will do its part on disarmament, this is our record, these are our commitments and they send a clear, unmistakable signal." Following this statement Clinton reveals the number of nuclear weapons we have.

YES Hillary! And that signal is... let me show you all of our cards so you can now figure out the best way to destroy us. A secondary signal? The US is so weak that they can be easily manipulated into revealing or doing whatever the world governments want or ask. Okay this stupid word of transparency has been taken waaay too far!

If the government no longer believes that we are a sovereign country and if they now believe that it is "our obligation to the world" to have such an open information policy; it is up to us THE PEOPLE to stop them.

These people are no longer citizens of America they have become citizens of the world committing treasonous acts against our country and they should be treated as such. Okay so you may think that my next sentence would be to go out and arm yourself. YES! I want you to arm yourself with the power of democracy and work feverishly like I am to get those traitors out of office. We ALL need to work night and day to find and support qualified candidates to replace these traitors in Washington. There is safety in numbers my friends and we each need to get out there and wake up our neighbors and educate them about how close we are to losing our Democracy.

This is our LAST Hail Mary. 2010 elections is our LAST chance. People, please listen to my pleading for my lovely 8 yr old son, for whom I desire to preserve our Democracy. Use up your stockpiles of time and talents right now. THIS IS THE TIME! No longer can we wait for tomorrow to volunteer or donate or lead. Now is the time for YOU, ready or not!! I hope you will stand with us against this apostasy from the Constitution, apostasy from this Nation, apostasy from We The People.

Contact me if you're looking for ways to volunteer and make a difference! tiff.tpx@gmail.com

It is all over the news that the Tea Party Express has broken from what some folks might call tradition (for us we don't consider it so). We have made a target and heroes list targeting the worst offenders in government and rewarding those who amid pressure still stand up for fiscal conservative values.

Now I know this was in a recent blog of mine... but it doesn't seem to be getting in people's heads what the Tea Party Express stands for. I will list it again for those of you who are new:

Restore Liberty- Honor the Constitution

*End the Bailouts!

*Reduce the Size & Intrusiveness of Government!

*Stop Out of Control Spending!

*Stop Raising our Taxes!

*No Government Run Healthcare!

I spoke this week with Brendan, a leader of the Tea Party of Boise. He expressed to me that the Tea Party of Boise is not endorsing anyone at this time. He says that we made the right decision for the Tea Party Express. He agreed that Minnick has very conservative vote. Here is the record that we decided to reward with Tea Party Express endorsement:

According to Brendan of the Boise Tea Party, Minnick has not only had ZERO earmarks but has made it his mission to Targets earmarks. He's ruffling feathers on the left and the right. Despite all of this he is beholden to noone. This is the greatest Tea Party quality. To stand in the face of opposition of your peers and to continue to promote and vote for fiscal responsibility and conservatism.

Here's what Minnick had to say to theMessenger Index (of Idaho on March 3, 2009): One of only 11 Democrats to vote against the House version of the stimulus bill and an opponent of the administration's auto company bailout plan, Walt Minnick said during his recent stop in Emmett that much of the economic recovery plans coming from Washington simply don't make good business sense."I've been a businessman all my life, and I've only been a congressman for six weeks," the son of an eastern Washington wheat farmer said. "So it's important to me that any dollar we spend be spent cost-effectively, especially since it has to be borrowed from the Chinese and Arab oil states and repaid by our kids and grandkids."

I'm back from a very successful tour with the Tea Party Express and I received a very strange forwarded email from a stranger to a group list I've never seen before. I would like to share it with each of you.

This letter is insane. It is really crazy written by someone who is not dealing with a full deck. Please remove me from your distribution list. I don't know who you are or how you got my email. I am so grateful Obama is our President and not some irrational crazy like the person who wrote this letter. Francene Amari-Faulkner

Now, I know neither Anna Marie nor Francene Amari-Faulkner. But I do know if I'm on a list somewhere where opinions need to be shared... well I've got to share mine too. Here was my reply:

Francene,It's funny you forwarded this nonsensical email to ME since I don't know who you are just as you don't know Anna Marie. But if you feel you have rights to send me your opinion... I must then take the same right. Though I haven't the time to read the email that Anna Marie sent to you (whom I also don't know), I will reply to all on your list you've added and add a comment to your comment.

I too am grateful that Obama is our President. For the past 60 years our country has been slipping into a socialistic society where the People are encouraged to get and demand what they haven't worked for. A similar phenomenon occurred before the fall of the Roman Empire. It was called a time of bread and circuses. Where the government gave out free wheat and held free shows to make the people lethargic and complacent enough to wield their liberties over to the government.

If you understand the story of 'How to Boil a Frog', you will then understand why I feel that Obama is the best thing to happen to this country. You boil a frog by turning the heat up slowly so that he will become accustomed to the rising temperature and not notice he's being cooked. Our Constitution and citizens were being cooked in a similar way. But along came Barrack Obama who through his own ego felt he could usher in all the socialist programs he wanted because of his popularity. He strayed from the plan of a slow boil and turned up the heat full blast. I thank God for his narcissistic techniques because the sleeping giant of America has been awoken. We will not be boiled... we will no longer take this tyranny of taxation and deep reaching regulation. We will take our country back starting this next election in 2010 and then cutting away deeper in 2012 at the sucking leeches who have clamped onto our democracy and have been sucking the life out of our Constitution and the People's pocket books.Please pass on the good word that our President has ushered in change. A change in attitude toward our hand in government. A rejuvenation of our pride to be American. A revolution to bring back the foundation of our country and to foster in a new era of personal responsibility and pride in ourselves, our community and our country. Send this email out to all you know so that ALL may know of the good our next one-term President has accomplished!!

Sincerely,

Tiffiny Ruegner

I am always surprised to find people who have a foundationless good opinion of people in government trying to lead our country astray. With the Tea Party Express I have found a movement of the People who are willing to put it all on the line to get our country back on track. Last week the Tea Party Express released a list of the worst offenders in government who have worked hard to gain personal power while ignoring the will of their constituents and the nation.

But to run those criminals out of town it takes lots of energy, creativity and money. We are working ourselves to the bone to raise $100,000 to put out a powerful ad campaign to not only chase out those rats but also to fill seats with true conservatives who are fighting to restore liberty and honor the Constitution. Our heroes also comply with the Tea Party Express platform as seen below:

We have accomplished much in a few months as seen in our recent press conference at the National Press Club last week on C-Span. We want to continue to do more. With your help we will continue to be a powerful force in encouraging the Bart Stupak’s to retire and weakening the influence of the Harry Reid’s and the Nancy Pelosi’s of this Nation.

My friend Paul Snover wrote this letter after feeling especially disturbed by the infighting in his local grassroots group:

"The hard thing or question is how do the Grass Root C4L Tea Party & 9:12 organizations unite in voice and strength while maintaining their uniqueness and original intent?

My friend has been stuck in the middle of these "power" struggles which include nasty words being bantered back and forth and bad feelings of good people one for another are tearing us apart, a negative atmosphere of contention is growing as elections draw near.

So, what is the best answer to "unite in voice and strength while maintaining their uniqueness and original intent?"

Anyone have the miracle cure to unite us all?"

My answer to him and all those experiencing the same side effects of revolution:

This will be the great struggle in this movement and it won't go away. The reason is because this call to a revolution has turned out the best and brightest of Americans to try to find what they can contribute. These bright Americans might ALL be considered chiefs. From the local to the national level you'll find a high (even unbalanced) number of chiefs in one organization. Look at those who prepared our Constitution and Declaration of Independence... a room full of chiefs. Do you think they fought over issues and ideas? YES! Did they give up? NO! We all have to come to the realization that there will be a big healthy power struggle in this fight.

I'm against uniting all of the local and national groups in one body as one entity as it will make us an easier target for the media to destroy. Instead we must all continue to strengthen our individual organizations and try to form a coalition with other grassroots groups while retaining our ideals and goals. What's great about having a number of grassroots is that instead of having 1 national organization accomplishing 1 thing you'll have multiple accomplishing many. Take TPN, TPX and TPP. These three major organizations couldn't be more different. The TPN, who organized a successful conference to bring multiple Tea Party peoples together to share ideas and learn. There is the Tea Party Patriots whom amongst many things are very good at building a network of communication. Lastly, the Tea Party Express who's very good at organizing tours and rallies and with their PAC status has the ability of affecting elections in their own way (been doing it for years even before the Tea Parties of 2009). Each of these organizations contributes something and if you were to combine them I believe that much of the power would be lost as the movement would slow down and you'd have to eliminate ideas when you eliminate decision makers.

I believe that those who want to build an organization must just face the facts that having opposition and controversy even from those who have the same beliefs and goals will in the end actually increase the number of things we can accomplish as a whole movement. We can be strong! We will overcome! And if we keep our shoulder to the wheel we will accomplish the extermination of the growing parasite of socialism that has taken hold of our country for the past number of decades. Like my friend Pearson use to say when I felt like throwing in the towel, “Cowboy up, Ruegner, we still have got work to do!"

This morning my Dad sent me an article about the tax that was passed on the usage of plastic grocery bags in Washington DC. This tax imposes a 5 cent penalty on consumers who go shopping and need something to carry their groceries home in. My dad said to me,"If it's so bad for us why don't they just make it illegal?" Then I went on to read this article in the Washington Post that talks about new guidelines for this confusing bag tax.

The words of my Dad swirled in my head... If pastic bags were terribly harmful for the environment then they would be illegal. Instead, I think this is just another revenue source for the government. I wonder when the government will satisfy its insatiable appetite to collect revenue from us in these obscure ways that are made to appear as penalties for bad behavior. Look at how those who smoke have been taxed, double taxed and overtaxed for years--has it changed anything? Now the government depends on smokers. When will the government stop trying to control consumer behavior and then profit from it?

My hope is that people might stop accepting the government attempts to control behavior and begin to realize that sin taxes are not for our own good but just ways for the government to expand its control.

Plastic bags don't get used; we do.

If you still feel concerned about what to do with your extra plastic bags, I have donated my bags to organizations such as Mothers Without Borders to take to Africa for the people to make shoes and rugs.
